When It Snows On Your Parade?

I used to have a whole bunch of dice

But I can’t find two of them now.

I suppose that means it’s a pair o’ dice lost?

(Yes, this is a pun. Anyhow…)

Would You Consider Him To Be A Jerk?

There once was a poet from Newark

Who never finished his work.

Even though it’d be easy

He was just that cheesy.

Deterrent or Solution? How About Both!

If everyone had nuclear missiles

And lacked all self control

The internet would be a more peaceful place

And that is a most noble goal.

The Gen Alpha Song

I was born too late for a peaceful life,

Born to a woman who was not a wife,

Raised by a screen and a TikTok star

With no life skills but a brand new car.

My first day of school was in my bedroom.

I made new friends with the help of Zoom.

My kindergarten cred was instantly blown

‘Cause I’m five years old but using last year’s phone.

I can’t read yet and that won’t change soon

‘Cause Alexa can read me Good Night Moon,

My browser can do homework for me

Thanks to indifferent teachers and a GPT.

By 2050 we’ll be on the presidential stage

Campaigning for a million dollar minimum wage

So better get some rizz unless you’ve got gyat

‘Cause here we come world, ready or not.

Apparently “Cosby-Cola” Is Not An Appropriate Suggestion

Our market research team said

Flavors that combine two fruity flavors

Like “strawberry-kiwi” and “lemon-lime”

Are massive money savers.

They asked us all to pick a pair

Of fruity tastes to try.

I suggested “date-grape”

And now I’m fired. They won’t say why…

My Stocking Is Stuffed And My Belly Is Too

Today it was Christmas

And Christmas was done.

This poem is only smaller

Than my desire to go for a run.

Side Effects Include Non-Sequiturs And Academic Integrity

The trees are all decked

With ornaments grand,

The stockings are stuffed

And the peaches are canned,

The sweatshirts are laundered

And the clouds are thundering

And the ointment is working

In case you were wondering.

And With That, The Silence Ended

Tomorrow is Christmas eve

And today’s the 16th day of Chanukah.

I am six years old today

And you bought me a harmonica!

Not Saying Santa Advocates Piracy, But…

Jingle bells on a reindeer’s chest

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

A long night ahead with not much rest

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

The elves made toys

For good girls and boys

But what the kids today enjoy’s

An iThingy

In 4k HD

With a USB

And a ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Nine deer flew but just six came back

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Three collapsed ‘neath the Chinese sack

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Chimneyless homes

With their bulletproof domes

Are wherever he roams

Gluten free cookie lasses

Left him soy milk glasses

Which make him pass gasses

So a ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Fifteen elves still employed at best

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Xi Jinping gone outsourced the rest

So its ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

For My Beloved Wife On The Occasion Of Her Illness

My girl is sick. She has the ick.

It makes her feel bad.

But she is lucky, ‘cause even when yucky

She’s married to me, her lad.

I make her soup that makes her poop

So all the germs come out,

And then she goes and blows her nose

And snot comes out her snout!

Now free of dreck, my darling Beck

May lay upon our couch.

I am her boulder, her comforting shoulder

For whenever she feels an ouch.

Soon will be when her and me

Go off to bed to sleep

And since she coughed I talk so soft

And help her count the sheep.

And when she wakes, the sound she makes

Is more thunder than snore

But through the night her gut got right;

She’s better than before.

So we repeat until her feet

Are under her anew.

My medical care is extraordinaire

Or so I think. Do you?
